Original practice · Optional exercise · Questions that open doors

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A failed attempt is described only as wasted time.
  2. Ask which part behaved differently from the original expectation.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
